A Toast

I love your eyes, they peer into my soul

I love your smile, it melts my heart

I love your beauty, it lights up my face

I love your promise, it lasts forever

Stepped out of my door, heading nowhere in particular

Hoping I’d walk out of the dark, that sad gloomy place

Staring as far as my eyes could see, darkness thick as hell

But there was the light at the tunnel’s end, your bright shining eyes

Where you been all this while?

Why did you wait till I stopped believing?

Many questions without answers

Doesn’t matter now, with you by my side

“Are we seriously asking questions?

Where were you when my heart was broken?

When my pearl was tossed, and my world was gloomy?

Doesn’t matter now, cos yeah, ‘twas tit for tat”

I love your sheets, I love your smell

I went astray but found your love

I love your all, the way you share

Anyone can make me laugh, but you? You make me smile
